TopoDS::Shell error when lofting

Please see attached file. I'm trying to loft Sketch006 through Sketch007 to connect the arch and the ring with two struts.

Re: Fill in corner with wedge?

Hm, strange. 2019-02-15-03-34-52-FreeCAD.png I tried this with Body001 selected, with AdditiveLoft001 selected and with Fillet001 selected. Maybe it's because my FreeCAD is a few weeks old: OS: Windows 7 Word size of OS: 64-bit Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit Version: 0.18.15619 (Git) Build type: Relea...

Re: Fill in corner with wedge?

Hm, nope, 0 invalid shapes.

No issues converting it to a mesh either.

I attached the file, in case you like to play around with it.

But yes, your idea is better. I didn't remember that I can of course sketch "into the air".

Re: Fill in corner with wedge?

I think I found a way.

I made two sketches like this:

And then I lofted the upper one through the lower one:

Fill in corner with wedge?

I found that this part breaks often along the blue line, so I though I'll make it stronger by filling in the corners as shown in red: 2019-02-14-01-53-33-FreeCAD.png How to do that? While I was writing this question I got the idea to trace and pad the polygon like this, and then draft it: 2019-02-14...

Render Arch model with Luxrender

In the Arch Tutorial in the Wiki there is an example of the casa_artigas model rendered with Luxrender: But, for a quick rendering, the Raytracing workbench can already do a good job, with the advantage of being very easy to setup, thanks to its templates system. This is a rendering of our model ful...

Arch: Simple door not connected with host object

I'm doing the following steps in the Arch workbench: - Create a wall object (select working plane XY, select Wall tool, zoom out, draw a wall of a few meters length) - Select the Window tool - Hover the wall until a face turns yellow, click - As expected a window is inserted in the wall - Delete the...

Re: How to change my workflow to get better editability

could I maybe get an attachment mode that works the same as Plane face but sets the origin to a selectable vertex of the face (or even just the one with e.g. the lowest coordinates would already be helpful)? I just noticed that there is already such a mode! It's called "Tangent to surface"...
